Hello There Poet Blitz

Notes About The Poem

Cache of Shame - a Halloween Blitz

Filch sweet treasure
Filch my cache
Cache in gut now
cache your hide
Hide dear brother
hide your skull 
skull so empty
skull obtuse 
obtuse to pain
Obtuse maneuver
Maneuver wisely
maneuver quickly
Quickly dodge
Quickly duck
Duck my swing
Duck your head
Head for door
head for hell
Hell won’t have you
hell rejects
Rejects your kind
rejects too wicked
wicked and vile 
wicked transgressor
Transgressor supreme
transgressor remiss
remiss to insight
insight that guides
insight that condemns
condemns injustice
condemns betrayal 
betrayal of bonds
betrayal of love
love for kin 
love for stability
Stability gone
stability a dream
Dream of your ruin
Dream of escape
escape from this storm 
storm that seeks vengeance
storm on your form
Form your words wisely
Form them with shame
Shame I must maim you
shame you're so lame
Lame
you

For If I were your Brother Poetry Contest

Coincidentally, I chose the blitz format to accomplish my mission here, for the definition of blitz has everything to do with a vigorous attack, or to destroy or demolish. Unplanned but adds to the fun, for me at least ;)

Cecilia Macfarlane November 2, 2019 at 1:17 PM If I were your sibling, I would give you half of my Halloween loot just to keep on your good side, lol. Congrats on your fine win. Hugs Hello There November 2, 2019 at 4:22 PM Hahaha! So funny, Cecilia :) I was tough, but a very gentle soul. Anything to protect others, but I wouldn't really beat him for stealing my grub ;) Now, if he stole from someone else, that would be an entirely different story! Thank you so much for your fun visit and congratulations <3

Charles Messina November 1, 2019 at 6:12 AM I love the form. Great write HT. Congratulations on your placement. ~Charlie Hello There November 1, 2019 at 1:05 PM Thank you so much, Charlie. I knew it might be a little intense, but I had to go for it ~ My own brothers would have expected it from me, and laughed, of course ;)

Sandra Adams October 31, 2019 at 6:56 PM Congratulations...told you Bobby would probably enjoy this one :) Hello There October 31, 2019 at 9:04 PM Ah, thanks, girl ;)

Gershon Wolf October 24, 2019 at 12:58 PM You've put the Luftwaffe to shame and to rout! What a blitzkrieg. Whoa! ~ Gershon Gershon Wolf October 30, 2019 at 2:46 PM Back with congrats on your win in the contest, H.T. I guessed your blitz broke through Bobby's defenses and caused him to erupt in gales of laughter. Smiles, Gershon Hello There October 24, 2019 at 4:35 PM Oh my gosh ~ you've got me giggling, Gershon... So funny, and thank you so much. This piece was great fun to put together, though a monoku was what I was originally going for. LOL... :)

Vijay Pandit October 18, 2019 at 8:08 AM Oh, the happy days! Enjoyed the read, HT. Hello There October 18, 2019 at 12:06 PM hehehe LOL, Vijay. Happy, indeed ;) Thank you ~

Andrea Dietrich October 17, 2019 at 8:57 PM Ok, Hello There. That is really going overboard to the brother!!! Very cool form you chose to use. You are good at blitzes! Hello There October 17, 2019 at 10:01 PM LOL. hehehe. It's all talk, my friend. I never chose violence for silly reasons, or ever really. This was supposed to be a one-line poem and a picture. That would have been a more accurate representation, though all of these thoughts would have come through loud and clear nonetheless...lol ;)

Sandra Adams October 17, 2019 at 8:29 PM lol what a fun read, love your play on words...I think Bobby will enjoy this one my friend... hugs :) Hello There October 17, 2019 at 9:55 PM Thank you so much, Sandra ~ This was fun to write :) See reply below when you have a chance.

Richard Lamoureux October 17, 2019 at 8:15 PM You blitzed to perfection. Good luck in the contest. Hello There October 17, 2019 at 9:52 PM I was planning to write one line only, then as I was looking for a form to fit, I found the blitz, which I thought was eight lines, because the samples end after eight... I was happy with it until I realized I needed forty-eight and another two (and a few other things ;). In the end, this was such fun, and I'm happy with how it turned out :) Hello There October 17, 2019 at 9:51 PM Thank you, Richard! Funny the story behind choosing this form...

Casarah Nance October 17, 2019 at 7:41 PM This was fun to read, like a quick wit battleground of wordplay. I like it. Hello There October 17, 2019 at 8:11 PM Thank you so much, Casarah. It was fun to write as well :)

Chris Green October 17, 2019 at 4:43 PM For a minute there I thought I was seeing things, hallucinating because of this intense sugar rush from eating all of that candy I swi...oh wait. Wow, how creative was that and mean, just for swiping your Halloween candy. I'd hate see what you would do if he swiped your cell phone... : ) Really cool my friend. P.S. you can delete it. : ) Hello There October 17, 2019 at 5:39 PM LOL. Nope, he was, basically, my training partner. I could never run ~ I was a pretty tough cookie ;) Chris Green October 17, 2019 at 5:02 PM That's a big dude, I would have just handed him the candy and ran like hell. : ) Hello There October 17, 2019 at 4:50 PM hahaha ROFL ;) I erased my last response already, but you have me laughing again. Remember all those mouths to feed? Food was the only thing worth fighting over, etc? Oh, most importantly! This would have been directed towards one brother in particular 6'5", 220lbs as a teen ~ words were an important first line of defense ;) Or offense, I should say, since the 'blitz' is an offensive move ;)
